The Panthers, meanwhile, have no such issue. Bobrovsky is their guy. He has been ever since regaining the starting job midway through the first round of the 2023 playoffs, their first of three consecutive runs to the Stanley Cup Final. He is as steady as they come, and his performance has shown for it.

The Florida Panthers have been a machine when playing away from home during this postseason.

After several subpar seasons, Panthers goalie Sergei Bobrovsky revitalized his career during Florida’s three trips to the Stanley Cup Final over the past three years.

A championship can rewrite the narrative for a goalie’s career, or further cement his place amongst the all-time greats. Panthers goalie Sergei Bobrovsky, about to play in his third consecutive Cup Final, has done a bit of both over the last few years.

In this year’s Stanley Cup final, goaltending has been a major storyline for the Edmonton Oilers. Regular starter Stuart Skinner has been displaced by backup Calvin Pickard, and Oilers fans don’t have consensus on who should be starting Game 5 for the team.

During Stanley Cup Final media day in Edmonton, Florida Panthers GM Bill Zito opened up on starting netminder Sergei Bobrovsky’s secret to his success and how he has helped lead the Panthers to a third straight Stanley Cup Final.

Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers will welcome Sergei Bobrovsky and the Florida Panthers back to Alberta, Canada for Game 5 of the 2025 Stanley Cup Final on Saturday. Leon Draisaitl scored the game-winning goal in overtime as the Oilers rallied out of a three-goal hole to win Game 4 in Florida 5-4 and tie the overall series 2-2.
